Over three decades Matt Farley has written and produced over 23,000 songs. His work, scattered across 80 different artist names, includes popular tracks entitled “The Poop Song” and “Best Song About Chicago”. A majority of his most streamed songs are what he refers to as “joke songs”, those that he creates in mass to be easily searched for on streaming services. In an interview with WMUA News Editor Owen Embury, Farley speaks on his past, his creative intentions, and how he grapples with the “joke songs” that have come to define his prolific music-making identity.
This episode was produced and edited by Owen Embury.
